Remedy Your Winter Blues With Hot Lemon, Honey & Ginger

The drink that got us through last winter is back to do the trick once more. Hot Lemon, Honey & Ginger is our go-to natural winter remedy – made of just three simple ingredients, but each with big health benefits.

Lemon

A potent liver detoxifier. Full of immune-boosting, cold-fending Vitamin C. Alkalinizing and inflammation-reducing.

Pucker up to a splash of this citrus. Lemon is known for its cleansing properties. In fact, those properties are what have made lemon so integral to Ayurvedic medicine, one of the world’s oldest, tried and true medical systems (over 3,000 years old, to be exact!).

Honey

Some call honey ‘liquid gold,’ and it’s easy to see why. Studies have shown honey as an effective natural cough suppressant and wound healer, making it great for soothing sore throats. Honeybees also supply honey with a hydrogen peroxide-producing enzyme that makes it anti-bacterial.

Honey’s not just for the sick. Listen up winter runners: honey helps maintain glycogen levels and improve recovery time. It worked for ancient Olympic athletes, so give it a shot!

Ginger

You can count on spicy ginger for relief from a number of ailments. Ginger clears congestion, reduces inflammation and relieves digestive symptoms that often come with colds, including nausea, loss of appetite and motion sickness.

Like lemon, ginger has long been key to Ayurveda medicine thanks to its immune boosting and respiratory relieving properties.
